Abstract

A self-centering device for a liner press-fit wheel may improve center alignment when liners are pressed in bolt holes of the wheel, may reduce rejects generated when bolt hole materials are pressed out by alignment failures, and may improve a press-fit yield.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A self-centering device for a cylinder liner press-fit wheel, comprising a rack, wherein a bottom plate is disposed at the bottom of the rack, a top plate is disposed on the top of the rack, a flat plate is disposed on the bottom plate, self-centering systems are disposed on the flat plate, each self-centering system comprises a positioning column elastically connected to the flat plate, the positioning columns can move relative to the flat plate in an up-down direction, a left-right direction and a front-back direction, hydraulic cylinders are disposed on the top plate, and hollow pressing columns are connected downwards to output ends of the hydraulic cylinders at the positions corresponding to the positioning columns.

2. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 1 , wherein each self-centering system comprises a shaft sleeve disposed on the flat plate, a positioning column is disposed in a gap in the middle of each shaft sleeve, and the bottom of each positioning column is connected to the corresponding shaft sleeve through compression springs.

3. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 2 , wherein each positioning column is connected to the corresponding shaft sleeve through the compression springs in forwards, backwards, leftwards and rightwards directions correspondingly.

4. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 3 , wherein a floating block is disposed between each positioning column and the corresponding compression spring.

5. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 4 , wherein a cover plate is disposed on the lower portion of each shaft sleeve, and the bottom of each positioning column is connected to the corresponding cover plate through a corresponding compression spring.

6. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 5 , wherein the bottom plate is fixedly connected to the flat plate through supports.

7. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 5 , wherein the output ends of the hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to the hollow pressing columns through a connecting plate.

8. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 5 , wherein the number of the self-centering systems and the number of the bolt holes of the wheel are matched.

9. The self-centering device for the cylinder liner press-fit wheel according to claim 8 , wherein the number of the hollow pressing columns and the number of the self-centering systems are matched.
